Not
really. Regardless who wins the election
for President this coming Tuesday, I am not moving to Canada like so many others
claim.
One, I don’t
know anyone there.
Two, I suck at
French. I was so bad at it that I dropped out of the class during my second
week as a college freshman.
Three, I cannot
stand the cold. I become totally
physically disabled when it comes to cold weather.
Regardless of
who becomes President of the United States (and I do not like either one of the
two major candidates), I am stuck here in the US of A along with all the other
inmates.
I could try
moving to Mexico but I don’t know anyone there.
My Spanish is notably not my first language, and the heat might be
bearable but the crime cartels might mistake me for a rich American and no one
in my family has enough cash to pay a ransom for my safe return. At least, that
would be their excuse.
I guess I will
take my chances here regardless of who wins.
There might be some benefit to
that. If the folks who claim they are
abandoning the US if their choice for Prez is not chosen actually follow
through with their boasts that means half of the complainers, bullies, and
boasters will be gone and the rest of us can get on with our lives.
I am counting on their promises about
as much as I am counting on the promises made by the Presidential candidates
A person commenting on the NPR TEDTalk hour said that the USA is the biggest social experiment ever. Our goal is an inclusive, multicultural democratic republic. The world is rooting for us to be successful, because no other country has achieved this. Our election is watched worldwide.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. Our haters want us to fail; the dreamers want us to succeed. I am with the dreamers.
